    If I'm looking for an ensemble piece, I'll definitely recommend *The Lost Immortals*! *The Lost Immortals*, by author Ben Zhijie, is an ensemble piece with well-developed characters, three-dimensional personalities, and a captivating plot. It's a masterpiece. This is the book I've taken the most notes on. The plot is full of humor, yet retains its artistic merit. The emotional descriptions are incredibly delicate, the plot is fresh and unpredictable, and each character's personality is vividly portrayed—it's as if the author truly cares about each one. The book has very positive values, and every character is of high character. I highly recommend buying it; it's a real bargain! (◕ˇ∀ˇ◕) Every character is beautiful, strong, and tragically beautiful ( '-ωก̀ ). Every minor character has their own unique story.

    All high scores! It has all sorts of genres, and they're all super good! High-quality ensemble dramas, chapters 1-7 are complete, the pinnacle of ensemble dramas! Chapters 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 have no romantic pairings, the others are definitely strong couples, with the male lead being stronger than the female lead. It seems that all except chapter 10 involve saviors. Chapter 8 is a mutual redemption story of the "Sending You Home Team." Chapter 4 feels like a different kind of cultivation story, and it's by the same author as Sheng An. Chapter 2 has a cliché beginning because it was started four years ago and only finished this year, but the middle and later parts are incredibly exciting and heart-wrenching (many people die), with a huge world-building. Chapter 7 is a niche genre, offering a unique flavor. Chapter 10 is a funny and heartwarming story, with no extreme cultivators, everyone is a good person, lighthearted and fun.
